    Brake question

    That sounds like a cracked abs ring on a driveshaft, something like these...

    Sadly breaking my car now 1.8TQS with a 4.2 V8 https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/breaking-b5-1-8-tqs-with-a-4-2-v8-engine.378260/#post-3308418

    A4 b5 1.8t what battery

    That is an 075 so will fit, you probably have a 063 on it as they are smaller, I have a 100 on mine and that is the largest that will fit the standard battery tray. I don't recognise the 0963 number but an 096 battery is the same length as a 100 but it is taller so the plastic cover will rub the...

    A4 b5 avant alloys spec

    I've got 225/40R18 on 7.5x18 ET30 and they just catch the rear arch lip occasionally and you should have about 8-9mm more clearance with those depending which tyres you use.

    A4 b5 avant alloys spec

    They should do, I think that's the same size and offset as the B6 S4 alloys. When I bought my car it had 8x17 ET45 alloys on it with 235/45R17 tyres and they didn't rub, if you use 225/40R18 tyres they are a little bit smaller diameter and thinner so should be fine

    A4 b5 coolant loss

    The oil cooler pipes can corrode under the coolant hoses and cause a leak, should be ok to clean up and re-fit if that's the issue

    1.9tdi FWD rear caliper carrier required.

    I have my old carriers off a 1.8T Quattro, slides are free but one rubber is split, I have the 8mm bolts as well. As far as I can make out on oemepc.com they should be the same. You can have them for the price of postage. I'm sure Aragorn will be able to verify if they will be the same or not...

    New TQS Owner & Project

    No, the ABS rings are on the driveshafts so are not affected by changing discs

    I think I bought them from you on AudiSRS back in July, just checked and it was £36 delivered for mine

    Fitting S4 front bumper

    I think the side mounts are quite cheap, it's the bumper shocks that are expensive to buy new. Keep a look out and some will turn up cheap I paid £35 delivered for the shocks. As a temporary measure I used a pair of 21mm sockets as spacers on top of the original mountings and made the longer...

    Subframes

    There looks to be two different styles of subframe, not just in the transmission mountings, I paid £25 delivered for an A6 V6 subframe so it was easier to fit the V8, the top subframe is the original and the A6 V6 subframe is different on the front crossbar it is lower and gives more clearance...

    Porsche twist?

    I've just taken that on my phone but it's through the window as it's raining, they are the earlier more rounded twists rather than the later flatter style as posted above. They are front wheels from a Boxster 7.5" x 18" ET50 with 20mm adapters so as fitted the wheels are ET30 and clear 18Z...

    Lcd Screen in cluster has failed.....MOT Fail?

    There is no issue with the screen for the MOT, any additional warnings on the screen are irrelevant and you can only fail if the warning lights are showing a fault.

    Return with my Silver TQS

    The old engine leaked quite a lot of oil, had done 187000 miles and the turbo had gone, the newer AWT had 110000 miles and didn't leak any oil so it was just easier to swap the lot.

    Return with my Silver TQS

    Yes, that's what I did but I also swapped the engine, the APU is narrowband so you don't get the full benefit of ME7 but it can be added on later.
